Co-Parenting and Divorce Class

Divorce can have a devastating effect on children. If parents are unable to work together for the good of the child, he or she can suffer life-long problems.

Help for Divorcing Parents

In 2014, Oklahoma legislators passed HB2249 which requires parents who are divorcing for reasons of incompatibility and who have children under 18 to attend an educational program concerning the impact of divorce on children.

Family Builders Co-Parenting and Divorce meets the requirements for such a program as outlined in the bill.

Program Topics

Short-term and long-term effects of divorce on child well-being
Effects of family violence on children
Child behaviors and emotional states during and after divorce
How to respond to the child's needs

Cooperative co-parenting
Reconciliation as an optional outcome
What to do in cases of child abuse or family violence
